Earlier today, Samsung Philippines launched its latest lineup of wearable devices – The Gear Sport, Gear Fit2 Pro, and Gear IconX. Combining form and function, they are designed to adapt to the needs of those who want to keep track of their progress of staying healthy and fit, while being compact enough to be worn as everyday accessories.
Samsung Gear Sport
The Gear Sport sports a 43mm diameter body, and is intelligently able to keep track of all your exercise routines and calorie intake. It also lets you play music from your phone, or from its own internal memory. The best thing? you can swim with it in both fresh and salt water.
The device can tell you how many calories you need to burn or consume to achieve your weight goal, continuously detect your heart rate, and hosts an array of fitness programs that you can stream to a larger screen with real time updates to organize your exercise programs and workouts.
Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro
Featuring a minimalist, no-nonsence design, the Gear Fit 2 Pro lets you customize and design your exercises and goals, leaving all the tracking to the software. It’s equipped with a curved SUPER AMOLED screen, giving you the same viewing quality that you get from a Samsung smartphone.
Spotify’s offline mode also works for the Gear Fit 2 Pro, which can actually store up to 500 tracks, enabling it to be a standalone music player. And when you want to put it to sleep, just place your hand over the screen, and that’s it!
Gear IconX
Listening to music while doing your workout is now easier with the Samsung Gear IconX. No need to run with a phone in your hand plus the dangling wires. The Gear IconX are Bluetooth headphones, but you can also load them up with your favorite playlists.
The battery life has also been significantly improved compared to the previous version. Now, you can run around for up to 7 hours before having to recharge. It also has an in-ear coach that gives you different prompts and tips while running, such as when to speed up or slow down.
Samsung has also partnered with Anytime Fitness, wherein members can get PhP1,000 off the purchase of a Gear Sport, a Gear Fit 2 Pro, or a Gear IconX.
